A VERY MERRY EVENING!

December 5th at 6:30pm

All adults are invited to attend a Christmas party at Lifeway. Bring a white elephant gift for the gift exchange & a side or a dessert. The church will provide chicken. Please sign up here or at the Welcome Desk this Sunday.
Join us as we share the beautiful story of the Gospel with our community through our Living Nativity. This cherished event brings the manger scene to life and offers a warm, welcoming space for all who attend.

We’re looking for a few volunteers to dress as shepherds—this includes helping with the donkeys or sheep— and we also need three fire pits with friendly faces to tend them and connect with guests as they warm up by the fire.

Additionally, we need volunteers to help with setup on the day of the event. Setup will begin at 2:30pm.

If you’d like to be involved, please sign up at the Welcome Desk or speak with Pastor Doug.
